Coño Who am I? is a weekly, narrative podcast on navigating the intersectional aspects of identity from the clinical yet hood lens of a licensed social worker. One thing's for sure though, these themes will always loop back to mental health and social justice because the goal is to empower women of color to live in their truth, find their voice, and feel powerful in their skin; because like the famous Lauryn once said, "how you gonna win, if you ain't right within?"
